Chapter 298 - Tricolor Peac.o.c.k
After the opening of the second White Jade Box, what appeared in front of Li Mu was a snow-white ginseng.This ginseng was relatively large and about a foot long. It was as thick as a goose egg. Strands of white fog would occasionally appear on the snow-white root of the ginseng. This fog was slightly cold, and its nature was obviously cold.
"This ginseng is quite interesting. It looks like it is at least a thousand year old spiritual medicine, but this root is emitting cold fog. I have never heard of it before, so I might as well wait and ask about it in the future."
Li Mu did not act rashly towards the spirit medicine he did not know, and carefully sealed it away before putting it into his own storage ring.
What was inside were all spirit medicines, but their ages were only a thousand years old. Although a thousand year old spirit medicines were rarely seen in the outside world, they were not something that was hard to find. Li Mu placed the three jade boxes into an empty storage ring, and had prepared to hand over these spirit medicines to the sect.
The ten great sects would fight each other for the chance to enter the Grand Mysterious Realm, so they naturally had a request for the disciples who wanted to enter, and that was to ask the disciples that entered the Grand Mysterious Realm to gather as many resources as possible, so that they could provide them to the sect once they leave. Of course, the sect would not take these resources for free, as the sect"s disciples would exchange them with their lives, and at that time, the sect would give out a high reward to the sect"s disciples.
After storing the three White Jade Box in particular, Li Mu set his eyes on the remaining two. Because he had the first three ordinary jade boxes, Li Mu did not have much hope towards the remaining two jade boxes.Li Mu quickly opened the sixth jade box. This time, it was different from the five spirit herbs from last time. Inside the sixth jade box was a pigeon egg-sized green coloured berry.
From the outside, the green berries did not seem to be out of the ordinary, to the point where Li Mu could not even tell the age of the berries, because just by looking at the surface of the green berries, forget about him, even some knowledgeable people with knowledge of heavenly materials might not be able to tell.
Although the green fruits looked very ordinary, Li Mu could still faintly smell a strange scent from the berries.
The strange smell was not pungent nor did it belong to the kind that made people feel comfortable. It made Li Mu felt that it was strange, because he could not tell what kind of smell it was, but he could feel a kind of indescribable feeling.
"Ji ji!" "Ji ji!"
Just as Li Mu was about to put away the unrecognizable berry into his storage ring, the sleeping Xiao Tian Lang suddenly reacted, it had awoken from its mature state, and was crying out in excitement.
Li Mu was extremely surprised by Xiao Tian Yin"s sudden awakening, he immediately looked at him with his own doubt, but after seeing his current appearance, his expression became strange, as he realized that Xiao Tian Yin was not looking at him, but was greedily staring at the green coloured berry in his hand."Xiaotian, are you interested in this?"
Li Mu had long since gotten used to the fact that Xiao Tian was lower than other beasts of the same level, so he waved the green berries in his hand to Xiao Tian Tian, and as if he was talking to someone else, he immediately asked a question.
Xiao Tian Xie fiercely nodded at Li Mu"s words, to the point that Li Mu could see his entire body trembling, as though he was extremely interested in the green fruits in his hands.
"Do you want to eat? I"ll give it to you! "Li Mu carefully looked at the cyan berry in his hand. Because he himself did not recognize it, he magnanimously threw it towards Xiao Tiantong.
Xiaotian was surprised that Li Mu was able to so easily throw the green berries at him, but he didn"t stop at all. A bright light flashed across his body and they immediately grew to be about a foot long, then he opened his mouth and swallowed the green berries Li Mu threw to him.
After eating the green berries, Xiaotian seemed to have regained his spirit. He was no longer dispirited as before and began to walk back and forth as if preparing for something.
Li Mu was a little confused by Xiao Tian Xie"s actions. Just as he was about to open the seventh jade box, a dense cyan light appeared out of nowhere on Xiao Tian Xie"s body. At the same time, another green tail feather appeared on his tail.At the same time, a powerful aura that exceeded that of Level Three demon beast began to spread out from within Xiaotian"s body. In that instant, Xiaotian actually went from the level of a Level Three demon beast to the level four beast rank.
Under the flickering of the three-colored light, Xiao Tian"s body grew from one foot to one meter. At the same time, his body also changed. The originally yellow fur had transformed into the feathers of a three-colored peac.o.c.k. The three colors were mainly white. Red and green. Its claws had also become sharp and long. On its long and slender legs, there were fine, three colored scales. The only thing that hadn"t changed was the colorful feathers on its head.
In that instant, Li Mu felt that Xiao Tian Lang looked like a peac.o.c.k. Even though the combination of the three colors wasn"t really that beautiful, but just looking at its appearance, it didn"t look any different from a real peac.o.c.k.After growing to a meter in length, Xiao Tian gave out a sharp cry. The three colored light on his body gathered together and shot out in all directions. It quickly attracted all of the surrounding Spiritual Qi and Essence.
Xiaotian was a demonic beast, so he could absorb and refine spiritual energy as well as spiritual energy. At this moment, his body was like a bottomless abyss, absorbing all the spiritual energy from the surrounding world into his body.
As the amount of Yuan Spirit Qi he absorbed increased, the aura of Xiao Tian Xie"s body also became more and more dense, and in the end, Li Mu could even peep into Xiao Tian Xie"s body and condense an extremely dense ma.s.s of Yuan Spirit Essence. He knew, that this was the same as when he had entered the sacred art realm, he would produce a Yuan Dan in his body, and the Goblin Beast would also produce a Goblin Pellet in his body after entering the fourth level.
"This guy is too abnormal, he was able to advance just by swallowing a nameless green fruit. He"s really abnormal, but it seems like this guy isn"t interested in the demonic cores and elixirs that most demonic beasts love. It seems like only those with special attributes would be interested in it, such as the Demon Core fragment of the Fireplume Nine Spirits, and the metal-type Demonic Core that it devours in the Purple Smoke Pavilion …"
"That"s not right!" Fire type beast core, metal type beast core, these green berries … The five elements, that"s right, they are the five elements. Could it be that if Xiaotian wants to advance, he needs to absorb something that is pure of the five elements? "The reason why Xiaotian hadn"t eaten anything since he arrived at Li Mu"s side was because the other party had devoured the remnants of the Fireplume Nine Spirit Snakes" Demon Core from the Vermillion Bird Mirror"s mouth. The other time was because he had devoured the frenzied Vermillion Bird"s Fire Spirit and the three metal-attribute Demon Cores he had consumed in the Purple Smoke Pavilion, which added up to a total of four times.
Li Mu could not figure out what type of spirit fruit the green berries were, but the things that Xiao Tian Lang had eaten before were all of the five elements. Li Mu had long known of this peac.o.c.k bloodline when he was in Chaotic Sky"s mouth, the Five Colors Divine Light was the power of five different elements, once the Five Colors Divine Light was released, it was said to be the Breaking of the World Spirit Treasure.
As long as it had something to do with the five elements, it would be restrained by the Five-Colored Divine Light. It was said that when the Five-Colored Divine Light was cultivated to perfection, even if it was a rare existence other than the five elements, it could not escape the divine might of the Five-Colored Holy Light.
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick to burn, Xiaotian"s progress slowly came to a halt. The previously dispirited look had disappeared from his face, replaced by an unruly arrogance. This arrogance seemed to belong to him, as if he was the number one existence in the world.
I didn"t expect that you would actually advance to the fourth level in such a situation. You are truly amazing, you were able to defeat the sacred art expert at the third level, and now that you have broken through to the fourth level, wouldn"t you be able to walk unhindered under the Profound Opening Realm? If that"s the case, I will have to rely on you to deal with any danger in the future.
Li Mu said in a low voice with a smile. He knew that with Xiao Tian"s high level of intelligence, he would definitely be able to understand the meaning behind its words. But what made him speechless was, Xiao Tian Han did not care about his words at all.
It was too lazy to bother with you, but once it was in a life and death crisis, the other party would definitely help it out. Li Mu had personally experienced this many times.
Li Mu didn"t bother to pay attention to Xiao Tiannan who was walking around blindly at the side. He set his gaze on the last jade box and opened the last jade box with some antic.i.p.ation.
This last jade box was not some Spirit Gra.s.s or Spirit Fruit, but a two inch thick, irregular golden iron piece. From a distance, this gold iron block did not look conspicuous, and was similar to the common gold ores in stone mines, but Li Mu realized that this golden iron piece was a little strange, because this golden iron piece did not contain the Qi of the five elements, and he was unable to figure out what it was, or what it was made of."Clang!"
Li Mu flicked his finger against the irregular piece of metal, and the result was a crisp sound. This irregular piece of metal did not change at all, as if it was some kind of rare metal essence, but it did not contain any metal-type Qi.Out of curiosity, Li Mu tried to inject some true essence into the irregular shaped metal, but with just that one attempt, Li Mu"s face immediately changed. The true essence that he poured into the irregular metal, all of it shattered without any warning.
